This afternoon's plan

I haven't ridden for a few days so I'm taking the river loop up a notch today and going via the Goodwill bridge to add a few extra kms. I have to pick Mary up from school so I'm including that on my route as well. I'm going to allow 2.5hrs. Here's the plan:

As you can see I'll be heading to South Bank first which means the back end of the ride takes in the dreaded bike path from the Corso up to Annerley Road. I shall somehow be turning it around in my mind as something to really look forward to and relish. Would someone like to stand at the top with a hosepipe  on "mist" for me? And a magnum and a cold beer?
I'm still not game to take the road. Even driving it is scary!
